Since this week's challenge is to use the BGs, I thought I would do something a little different. I colored Mermaid Anya's hair with them! I stamped her in Memento - Tuxedo Black ink and used these Copics to color her:
hair: BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11
skin: YR00, E00, R20 for cheeks and eyelids
mermaid tail fin: G07, G05, G02
top: R24, R22, R20
I made this card into a tag holder. I used a clear sheet and hand sewed it to the bottom of the card front so that the tag with Mermaid Anya had a pocked to sit in.

The polka dots on her tail fin were done with some inverse masking I guess you could call it. I stamped the mermaid image and then cut out the fin using a craft knife so that I could stamp over the tail without it getting anywhere else. I used the SP & Company - Easter Eggy set. Isn't it funny how we can find other uses for our stamps!? I love it! :)

ok, Kelli, your project is way too adorable. I had never seen a tag holder. And your coloring on the hair is fantastic! It's a perfect color for a mermaid's hair, in my opinion. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration.
